Mt Rosa
Pinot Gris 2021 750ml

Tasting Notes

Beautifully fruited and expressed, the elegantly fragrant bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, poached pear and mixed spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that’s plump and richly textured. The wine offers terrific fruit purity with elegant complexity, finishing long and delectable.  (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit review)
